Cycling in Dubrovnik

With the rich culture and deep history of sites like the Franciscan Monastery, the Dubrovnik Cathedral, and the Rector's Palace, it's no wonder why there's so much foot traffic and congestion on the streets of Dubrovnik.

So where does cycling fit into this equation?

Most cycling routes exist outside the walls of Dubrovnik, and some stretch all the way into Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bike Touring

The Ciro Trail is a 140 km long trail that stretches from the southern Croatian Coast all the way to Cim in Bosnia Herzegovina, and it starts right in Dubrovnik!

The route is mostly flat, but requires high endurance if you plan on cycling the whole thing.

You'll want to rent a gravel bike for this trail, equipped with panniers for storing provisions. To rent these, add your bike to the cart then continue to shop for accessories. It's also a good idea to rent a helmet!

Highlights of this tour include passing through old railway tunnels, passing by Svitasko Lake, and cycling along the old railway track that runs along the Nerevta River.

It's possible for this whole tour to be completed in one day, or broken up into several days, depending on your cycling endurance and if you want to carry camping equipment.
